According to Department of Foreign Affairs statistics, Australian beef exports to Russia were worth $150 million in 2013, while butter exports accounted for $64 million. Live animals excluding seafood were worth $55 million and meats excluding beef were worth a further $48 million. Overall, two-way trade between Australia and Russia in 2013 was worth about $1.79 billion in 2013. I would blow Dane Cook fucked around with this message at 14:03 on Aug 7, 2014 |

Given Abetz is using disproven decades old drivel to attack women, I am hoping we will see centrelink offices equipped with diagnostic phrenology kits to help weed out the bludgers from the battlers.

It means either they have a stolen key and resign things which means within the weak someones broken into the proxy and stolen the private key and can pretty much crush the internet with stupid, or you'd have to install some sort of government key which the private half can still be stolen and basically its a security nightmare for everyone and will get everyones credit card stolen. Except for people who use vpns/tor and thus immune to the scheme, including 100% of terrorists.

Not sure why you've got such a hard-on for attacking people who you know don't actually have lovely opinions. Very constructive. You do realise there's no prize for being the most ideologically correct? And even if there was, you've got just as many dumb opinions as everyone else.

If I'm to believe reports (transcript isn't up yet), Turnbull went on AM this morning and said the "metadata" is client IPs and nothing else, they just want ISPs to hold it for longer. So yet another definition of "metadata". The best reason I've heard for letting Turnbull out now is that they didn't want to share the credit if people liked the idea.

It's a sanction that impacts a tiny percentage of GDP (0.00049%) It's meaningless, and isn't going to teach the Abbott government anything. It's also not a bad thing when governments stand up to leaders responsible for the death of innocents, they should just try and be more consistent about it.

If our media was vaguely competent, every time someone says something that blatantly goes against current scientific thought and cites "the studies" they'd ask them which loving studies in particular. While I'm not a medical expert in any way, I can't help but imagine that something only referred to as "the studies" from the 1950s isn't the most up to date information, particularly in relation to loving cancer.

He was also talking about how grouse it would be to privatise 50% of DHS, because "sometimes you need to trade jobs for efficiency, and the private sector is always more efficient"

I've heard the argument made by lolbertarians a lot that tax evasion is fine because it's the government's fault for leaving holes in the system. It's nice to know we live in a world where it's so easy to rationalise a private company completely abandoning any kind of social contract and just playing the system for shits and giggles.

I swear someone posted a link to a list of everything that the Abbott government has been able to successfully get through parliament (it was a short list). I can't find it after looking for nearly an hour - anyone got it handy or know how I can go and make this list myself if it turns out I was just imagining it? Arguing with someone who thinks that the reason the Libs can't get the budget through is because "Labour" (yeah yeah I know) are being meanies and wreckers, not, you know, because the budget is a giant turd in the punch bowl of Australia

It's nice to know we live in a world where it's so easy to rationalise a private company completely abandoning any kind of social contract and just playing the system for shits and giggles. Where do you think private efficiency comes from? It is entirely based around skirting the line between legal letter and social contract. They only worked 7 hours before the power went out? Lawyers say we don't have to pay them cause they worked less than 8 hours.* *actually happened.
